Overview
SOAFEE is Redefining Automotive Software for Cloud-Native

SOAFEE (Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge) is an Arm-led initiative redefining how automotive software is developed and deployed. With over 150 contributing partners, SOAFEE provides an open standards-based approach to address the real-time, safety, and performance needs of modern vehicles—while embracing the flexibility of cloud-native development.


Built on the high-performance, energy-efficient Arm Neoverse and Arm Cortex-A platforms, SOAFEE empowers automotive developers with scalable architectures and tools that streamline development cycles, promote collaboration, and reduce time-to-market. From enabling early software prototyping in the cloud to real-world deployment using containerized stacks, SOAFEE accelerates innovation for software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
